Great video, would love to see more like that!

BTW, I have yet to spend the night in the back of the Cruiser. I must say I am jonzing to do that. Have to wait until spring/summer though unless I make it to Baja. Which BTW, may just happen! ;)

Me = jealous! So wish I could be right there right now in my Cruiser. Sand wheeling and boards on the roof. Dreamy.

Because I was stuck! :( No lockers sucks! One trip snow wheeling is better than none this year though. Funny, a month ago we were at the dunes in t-shirts. BTW, what goes around comes around! ;) See ya' this weekend. Cheers

Had a bit of drama this morning.... The battery terminals have been wasted since I got the truck. Just plain worn out and can't get them tight enough anymore. I believe it has the stock style 80-series terminals and since I have a number of things pulled off them I didn't want to change to a...

A few things about your truck I don't care for but hey it is not my truck! Overall, very well put together and thought out. I like a lot of mods and things you have done. I also think the black on silver with red pinstripes looks fantastic. Cheers

Even in a Cruiser it would take some time to sell. Unless the swap was done by the big names in swaps in Toyotas. And even then some time to sell as the price tag is large! While that is a great motor it is a bit small for that truck. It is also a bit old. It is also not all that common in the...

FYI, it doesn't have a frame. The central tube is the frame. If it was bent or damaged or falling apart from rust the drivetrain is damaged. Central backbone tube chassis on Pinzgauers. And a early style unibody for the rest.

Mods I wouldn't do again? Hmmnnn.... Making a truck to heavy. I honestly can't think of many mods I have regretted. I usually spend a ton of time thinking things through and do a ton of research before doing mods. So the biggest mistake or what I wouldn't do again is take a truck with a small...

Snow wheeling is always fun! I need my lockers wired up for this kind of activity. Seems the Inchworm harnesses are on back order. :( Cheers

Thanks! Making progress.... Keeping with the early year of this Patrol and doing our best to keep it stock for this year. Nissan made a lot of changes over the years to the 60-series Patrol. Having a plethora of used~spare parts means going through it all, cleaning up the best parts and...

The drivetrain has been painted to a stock early color, only found on Patrols up to 1965. I had several stock items in this color and we simply cleaned the pieces up and started painting samples on them until a match was found. Bell housing was painted inside and out, a low mile flywheel in...

I agree, cool truck! Thing is as an overland platform it will have pretty limited uses. A 6x6 like that is designed to haul weight and if all six are locked, traction. Besides this it has no advantages at all. It is long, has a horrible turning radius, suspension doesn't flex much at all, fuel...

Guatemala and Nicaragua are excellent places to go hunting for non-USA Cruisers and Toyota trucks. Panama is also good. These countries are full of Cruisers and Toyota trucks and our dollars still go a long ways in these countries. Yes many are beat down but not all. I have seen many a Troopie...

Had they flooded the truck it would have driven on the bottom. Wiring not an issue if you prepare for deep water. IE, seal everything up with dielectric grease. Although relays, window motors, ECU and things of this nature are not going to like it one bit. Cheers

Whole bunch of stuff has been ordered.... Metaltech 2" spacers for front New clamshell new windshield gasket new OEM radius arm bushes New OEM inner axle seals Wheelskin leather cover for the steering wheel Dash cover from SOR - ****** at their shipping costs these days! new OEM 2nd overhead...

Sliders look great! Looking forward to seeing them in person....

Work starts again on this project Monday morning.... I am looking forward to it! By the way, apologies for the missing pictures. I am letting my website go and as such any pictures hosted on it are gone. New pictures will be hosted elsewhere.

My opinion.... 12HT or 6BT. That is all.
